Customer Reviews

Excellent variety of plan selection and skill levels ...

As a freelance draftsperson this book is one of four by Sun Designs that I had the pleasure of assisting with. 'Classic Toys in Wood' was a true delight as was the follow up book 'Making Timeless Toys in Wood'. Classic Toys in Wood contains 40 toy plans including; construction toys, a host of fun toys in the 'boat marina' theme, rocking horses, and more. The book itself contains 12 mini plans as well as an illustrated story for children. My niece was just a small child while I was working with the protypes of these toys. She visited often and of course loved to play test them. She especially liked the ferris wheel and all the little people she could put on the ride. Unlike some mass made toys, these stood up to the rigors of play. Along with the mini-plans included in the book you will find excellent step-by-step instructions and materials lists. Full size plans for all the toys shown in the book can be ordered directly from Sun Designs.
